A Disturbing and Alien Memory - Southern Novelists Writing History

Informationen zum Autor Douglas L. Mitchell is assistant professor of English at the University of Mobile in Alabama. Klappentext A Disturbing and Alien Memory explores a line of writers from William Gilmore Simms to Shelby Foote who turned to formal history at some point in their careers. It examines the peculiar dilemma of southern writers as poet-apologists, the changing nature of history and its relation to the realm of letters, the question of public authority, and the movement toward a meaningful vision of history in the work of Foote and Robert Penn Warren.
